Stella Matutina Girls' High School, private senior high school in North District, Taichung
Stella Matutina Girls' High School is a private Catholic school for girls in North District Taichung serving students from grades 7 through 12. The campus has several purpose-built structures including classrooms, music facilities, a chapel, and gathering spaces, all well-maintained and organized to support student learning.
The school was founded in 1963 after Sister Chi Chih-ying brought nuns from a Catholic congregation to Taiwan to establish girls' education. During the 1970s the institution expanded to include nursing and music programs, growing into a comprehensive six-year secondary school.
The school's name comes from Latin, meaning morning star, a symbol of hope and new beginnings that inspires students to bring light to others. This concept shapes how the community values kindness, reflection, and spiritual growth in daily school life.
The school sits in a quiet area with green spaces and flower beds that create a welcoming setting. The campus is easy to navigate with clear areas for learning, music practice, and athletics, making it simple for visitors and students to find their way around.
The school was founded by nuns who raised funds from abroad by writing letters and collecting donations, showing remarkable determination against financial hardship. This commitment to girls' education, achieved through such personal effort, remains central to the school's identity today.
